In reply to the discussion: OBAMA MOCKS FOX CORRESPONDENT WHO ASKS WHY HE WANTS HIGHER GAS PRICES [View all]Spazito
(50,325 posts)71. Ahhh, yes, the infamous Ed Henry who, while at CNN...
said this regarding how he approaches press conferences with the President:
"I was heading into this event with the same strategy: make news on something unexpected (I won't tell you which topics I was working on cause it would ruin the surprise for a future presser or interview with the president)."
http://articles.cnn.com/2009-03-25/politics/henry.obama_1_aig-president-obama-question?_s=PM OLITICS
He obviously missed ALL the classes on what a journalist's job is. It's NOT to "make news on something unexpected", it's to REPORT the news.
He is such an inept creep, fits perfectly with Fox.

An excellent answer that shows that the President is on top of the situation.

Obama should have concluded his remarks with, "And, Ed...if you believe I want higher gas prices,"

If Faux Snooze can have a seat at a Presidential press conference, why can't The Daily Show?

No weeds for Obama. He knows how to stay out and highlight his agenda.

Fox News will cut it down to "I want gas prices lower" and then everyone will chime in...

I cannot imagine how much it must pain Obama to have to treat Fox folk as real journalists

Obama could have asked why Fox News and Republicans love higher gas prices?
